To ban the sale or transfer of semi-automatic weapons is a helluva stickler item for me. It's not about being safe from home invasion, or ensuring that I can hunt ducks in duckhunting season. For me, it's about the security of a free state being increased by armed citizenry (well-regulated militia does not equal well-regulated gun industry. That, you have to play by ear).

Yeah, and I invited you to tour an area where a large portion of the citizenry is armed: Chicago's south side. Put your money where your mouth is and prove your point with an after-hours walking tour of North Ave. (ex-Cabrini Green area). You can discover for yourself how secure all those guns make your free state.
You cannot make an informed choice if you're only voting on one issue.
